agents come in disrupting the meeting. The discussion continues and centres around a mathematics teacher who bought a Smith & Wesson firearm, which was stolen from his house and used by a gangster in another killing. He decides to sell the gun back to the same shop it was originally bought from and it is then passed on to Rich and his gang. Angel teams up with Rich who helped him before to move guns and gets involved with the torture of an arms dealer who lied to them. Rich also meets a news reporter to talk about the gun business. The next day Angel meets with the police and it's shown that he was let out of prison to be an informant for them (a flashback scene shows his wife being killed as a result of the illegal arms trade). The reporter who met with Rich, goes to her wealthy boss proposing to sell advanced guns to him, but her boss is unsure saying he might simply be a thug selling firearms. The next day they meet without knowing that Angel is against them and the police are seeing their every move. The boss introduces himself to Rich and gives his van full of guns to him. He calls one of his minions to give Rich one of the guns to examine. Rich immediately agrees to buy them and is just about to pay when the police attack. During the fight Rich gets shot. Angel rescues him, but when they are alone turns and points his gun at Rich, who realizes that Angel has been the rat all along. Angel tells him that the cocktail waitress killed in an earlier raid that was his wife. Rich laughs and tells Angel that he is just like him, a killer, and that everybody that Angel has killed was someone's son or husband. As Angel breaks down, Rich pulls a gun, but Angel gets the shot off first and is about to kill him, when a police agent shoots Angel. In the closing scenes, time has elapsed and Angel is shown walking down a corridor with a sling on his arm, meeting with his daughter. The police agent is seen walking into his office, answering questions on how he feels about the plea bargain which Rich has obtained. The final scene shows Rich walking to his cell in handcuffs, looking up through the bars of the cell as it is opening.
